Press Release

Galerie Lelong & Co. is pleased to present at Frieze London with works by Etel Adnan, Leonardo Drew, Ficre Ghebreyesus, Andy Goldsworthy, Samuel Levi Jones, Ana Mendieta, Jaume Plensa, Tariku Shiferaw, Nancy Spero, Mildred Thompson, and Juan Uslé.

A centerpiece of our booth is Nancy Spero’s historic painting, Mother and Children (1962). From Spero’s series of Black Paintings, the somber depiction of a mother and her two children preface the artist’s radical career. They are the first works with the imagery that will occupy her for the rest of her life; the agency of women and women’s complicated role in society—as maternal caregiver, but also survivor and leader. The gallery’s longstanding championing of women artists is also on view with historic works by Ana Mendieta and Mildred Thompson and recent pieces by Etel Adnan.

Multiple works are on view for the first time to viewers including new pieces by Samuel Levi Jones and Tariku Shiferaw. Both artists use the language of abstraction as an investigator of social change.

 Intimate works by the late Ficre Ghebreyesus will also make their debut at Frieze. Ghebreyesus’s paintings suggest the non-linear form of dreams, memories, and storytelling.

Internationally recognized as one of today’s leading contemporary portrait artists, the sculptures of Jaume Plensa highlight our shared humanity through portraits of individuals. On September 29, 2021, the artist’s first public-facing sculpture in London, WE (2021), was installed at The Shard. WE comprises two parts—one installed in The Shard’s piazza, one suspended above the escalator outside the building—facing each other as if in dialogue. For the first time in his practice, the artist has anchored one figure to the ground with roots, reflecting its status as being rooted to the history and context of the London Bridge area. The other sculpture is suspended in the air, in an evocation of spirituality and the notion of rising above the daily challenges. A new sculpture in stainless steel will be presented at our booth.
